Id love to get TRT it'll be awsome. but lets see if ur levels go up naturally lets see what goes on bro best of luck
Thanks for the good words. I hope that it does, too.
What about this:
1. Start taking exemestane from researchstop to kill any aromatase enzyme you have lurking around.
2. Inject 100mcg of triptorelin from ergopep.
3. Continue taking exemestane.
When you come off, report on how everything is faring. This is just me hypothesizing, but wouldn't permanently killing aromatase activity while restarting your HPTA with trip give you the boost you're looking for?
Could it be that the clomid restarts boost your testosterone, but that in turn increases your aromatase activity and thus your estrogen, so when you come off the clomid you end up getting shutdown again?
After all, your bloodwork shows that your estrogen is high. So instead of boosting your testosterone by blocking your estrogen receptors (which dooms you to failure when you come off), why don't you go after the root of the problem and block the estrogen from being created in the first place?
I've never done this myself, so I can't comment on its efficacy. I'm just thinking aloud here.
These are good ideas. Thanks for the lead on triptorelin. I'd never heard of it, until now. The research looks promising.
What you said about taking exemestane is a good idea, too, given my estrogen levels and sexual performance/libido issues.
I'm about 1 week into running 0.5 mg of anastrozole (arimidex) per day, and there were some really concerning side effects for the last few days. Mostly, chronic and persistent ED that was unresponsive to PED 5 inhibitors, in addition to joint pain. Today was an improvement, though. The joint pain is mostly gone (no cracking in back, etc), and I had a great erection just a few hours ago. I had taken 20 mg cialis this morning with 0.3 mg of pramipexole. This means that my estrogen must be too low. I'll see if I have a morning erection, tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I have my first appointment with Dr. Lerner from Cedars Sinai at his office. Whether this guy is a fossil who won't treat me, or not, has yet to be seen. All I know is that he's highly recommended by some, not so much by others.
I'll get lab work done, regardless, to include my estrogen, prolactin, free and total testosterone, LH and FSH. My thyroid has been giving normal numbers, and I don't have a brain tumor.
I think that what I'll do is this:
if my numbers come back off, tomorrow, then I'll consider taking the triptorelin.
If the triptorelin does not work, I'll try a 3 month cycle of low dose TRT level testosterone to see if that can alleviate my symptoms. According to research,
"The problem is that low testosterone guys do not fully activate the dense network of androgen receptors at the base of the penis and then those muscles get out of shape. It is these muscles that constrict and hold the blood in the penis once Nitric Oxide has done its job. If you're not getting nightly erections, you are also not oxygenating the penile tissue, which is also critical for the health of your sex life.
Remember that it will probably take anywhere from one to three months for these muscles to build up once you get your testosterone levels to where they should be and actually improve any erectile dysfunction that you may be experiencing.

Also, if you don't know about it, there's a new peptide out there that causes increased libido and erectile function, similar to melanotan II, but without the tanning effect. It's called "Bremelanotide," or PT-141. I ordered some from extreme peptide, last night. It stimulates the melanocortin receptors in the brain (hypothalamus), and causes increased libido by triggering descending neural signals (nerve impulses) to the penis.
I ordered some exemestane to go with it, too. It seems to be better than anastrozole in many ways.
Thanks for all the replies!
